Rosco Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 UK release date is still January 30th! Let's hope the temptation to buy an import doesn't prove too strong to resist... Quote
skeith Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 any more comments on this set? I like the Jack Johnson set .. how does this compare? Quote
GA Russell Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 I can't believe that some of you people don't have the willpower to wait until Christmas to open this up! This may be better than any of your Christmas presents! Quote
md655321 Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 I like the set more than the Jack Johnson set. Gary Bartz, and really everyone else, is one fire throughout. It is the leanest electric Miles I have heard, and the closest he got to a funk/rock band. Jarrett is particularly magnificent as well. Definitely ALOT more blues in his playing than he usually has. As much as I love the Jack Johnson set, I find it a bit hard to listen to for long period, unless you take out all the alternate takes. Its very easy to put on the Cellar Door for long periods. I also heard it on public radio last night while driving home from a christmas party. Quote
Guest Chaney Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 not metal here. so where is this sticker they had to put on back in october? I don't see it anywhere Some are with metal spine and some are not? Lame joke on my part. None are metal spine. Not to get creepy about the packaging but whatever that box material is made of, anyone else think it feels like... skin? Quote

I also heard it on public radio last night while driving home from a christmas party. To deal with the Jack Johnson issue you referred to, I created a couple of playlists in iTunes that don't duplicate takes. Makes for some very tasty listening that way. My Cellar Door should be arriving soon Quote
GregK Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Not to get creepy about the packaging but whatever that box material is made of, anyone else think it feels like... skin? I thought it felt like leather Quote
Free For All Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 FedEx just delivered it. The circle is finally closed. I'm almost a little sad. No, not really. This will be my antidote to all the Christmas music I'm getting tired of. Quote
tranemonk Posted December 22, 2005 Report Posted December 22, 2005 Amen to that... If I hear "All I Want for Christmas" one more time.... FedEx just delivered it. The circle is finally closed. I'm almost a little sad. No, not really. This will be my antidote to all the Christmas music I'm getting tired of. Quote
Soul Stream Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 35 pages of people in dire anticipation. Cardiac arrest that it might not see the light of day. Now that it's here, not too much discussion.... Quote
Quincy Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 Well that's because I still don't believe it's shipping. In fact, I'm suspicious that all of the posts above claiming that it is shipping, along with posters saying that they have it in their hands is all fabricated. Not just the posts, but the ultimate setup of all by Sony/BMG/Miles's nephew is that the posters themselves have been created, all the better to fool me into thinking this thing will be at my door on December 27, 2005. Well you aren't going to fool me again. This is the most elaborate sting in the history of the music business, a conspiracy years in the making. Not until I play all 6 discs (heck, they might slip 6 discs of Chris Botti in there instead) will I believe I have it. Um, actually I'm really looking forward to it! But it really is hard to believe it's finally happening...if indeed it is. Quote
Steve Gray Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 I thought it felt like leather It's the first vinyl I've bought in 20 years. Quote

Now that it's here, not too much discussion.... I don't speak for anyone else but I'll need a little time to digest it a bit. And there are too many holiday distractions at the moment. But I will get there. Quote

GregK Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 Didn't Chris Albertson write back in 1970 that there were reels and reels of tapes from the Cellar Door? Then why does it say on the back of this box set that these tapes were newly discovered? Where were they in the meantime? Anyone? Quote
JSngry Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 Ding-Dong! UPS calling! That sticker still doesn't say anything about the stuff being produced by Miles, though. I thought that was the point of contention. Oh well! Quote
jazzbo Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 You know what I mean Ron! And I said "look similar!" Hmmm. . . I'm stuck at work and maybe even will be home late. . . of course. Quote
Ron S Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 Hmmm. . . I'm stuck at work and maybe even will be home late. . . of course. That Rick Perry's a real Scrooge--you guys should be getting out early! Quote
jazzbo Posted December 23, 2005 Report Posted December 23, 2005 Oh hell, my division of my agency is the one that tends to all the buildings and properties. . . we're always the last people to get sent home. You get used to it after 21 years or so! -_- Quote
